PRESCOTT PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Second to None in the State
 -.Bright Prospects Ahead.

The Prescott public free) schools will open on Monday, September the 18th under suspicious circum- stances. It is second to no school of the kind in the State. In all probability, it will have a larger atteudanc than ever before, as Professor T. J. Crawford our excellent new Superintendent will draw quite a number of his old pu- pils from just below TeXarkana, He was up Friday. to see about getting out catalogue, and ar range for boarders, all of which work he accomplished satisfacto- rily.
 There are few better or more efficent educators than Prof. Craw ford, as the following testimonials, (which we have asked his permis- sion to pubIish) will attest:
 To Whom H May Concern.
 This is to certify that have been personally acquainted with Prof. T. J. Crawford, for the last eight or ten years, and can unhes- itatlngly recommend him to all as an educated and polished gentle man. Prof Crowford has for ths length of time been teaching in our best schools (and schools that he had built.) Has never left any locality, only with the regret of his patrons. He has such repu. tation as an educator in this part of the state, that schools seek him. and not he the schools. Should the Prof. wish to continue in that line of employment, il will be the gain of that locality that first secures his services.
 Respectfully,
